Jaconé Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Jaconé.

We’re starting off with a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s some real promise on the horizon. The first few days are a bit of a write-off, but don’t lose hope. The ocean gets its act together as we move through the period.

Thursday, September 3rd kicks things off with a solid 7ft south swell, but the wind is a bit of a spoiler. The morning is clean with a light offshore breeze, giving us some decent lines. The water is sitting at 73°, which is about average for this time of year. The combined energy is a moderate 992, so there’s some push behind it. By afternoon, that wind swings east and picks up to 19 mph, turning it cross-offshore and making it less appealing. It’s a brief window of fun for the early birds.

Friday, September 4th is a better day. The swell drops to 4ft from the SSE, but the wind goes glassy-light offshore in the morning. It’s clean, with a combined energy of 640, making for some fun, user-friendly waves. This is a good one for a long session.

Saturday, September 5th and Sunday, September 6th are a bit of a dud. The swell gets small and the wind is all wrong – onshore and cross-onshore. The energy drops to between 100 and 335, and the conditions are messy. Not worth paddling out for.

Monday, September 7th sees a bump in size with a 6ft SSW swell, but the period is a short 8 seconds. The wind is cross-offshore, keeping it clean enough, but the energy is 485. It’s surfable, but not the pick of the week.

Tuesday, September 8th is a solid call. A 5ft south swell with a 10-second period, light offshore winds, and moderate energy of 553. Clean, consistent, and good for intermediates.

Wednesday, September 9th and Thursday, September 10th bring a shift in direction. We get east swell, 6ft to 6ft, with offshore winds both mornings. The periods are short (7-8 seconds), so it’s a bit bumpy and not as powerful, but the clean conditions make it fun for a cruise.

Friday, September 11th and Saturday, September 12th are tiny. Glassy mornings with 2ft to 3ft swell, but very low energy (138-146). You’d need a longboard and a prayer.

Sunday, September 13th is a write-off. Strong onshore winds and tiny swell.

Monday, September 14th is a return to form. A 3ft SSW swell with a long 11-second period, clean cross-offshore winds, and energy of 364. Nice, clean lines for a longboard.

Now, the standout of the whole forecast is Tuesday, September 15th. This is the one. A 8ft S swell, with a 10-second period, and light offshore winds. The combined energy is a powerful 1599. This is solid, punchy surf. It’s a bit on the bigger side, so it’s better for experienced surfers, but the conditions will be excellent. The water is still around 73°, and the offshore breeze will groom it perfectly. This is the morning to be in the water.

Wednesday, September 16th is another good one. A 5ft south swell, glassy conditions in the morning, and energy of 537. Clean, fun, and a nice follow-up to the big day.

Thursday, September 17th brings a 5ft SSW swell with a very long 14-second period. The energy is 1037, and it’s glassy. This is a proper groundswell. The long period means it’ll be super clean, with long waits between sets, and it will be best at a point or reef, not a beach break. The water is still average for the time of year.

Friday, September 18th is a big one, but for experts only. An 8ft south swell with a massive 16-second period, hitting a combined energy of 4054. That’s a huge amount of power. The wind is light cross-shore in the morning, so it will be clean, but this is serious. Only for the most experienced, and you’ll want to be at a reef or point break where those long-period lines can really stand up. Afternoon onshore winds will ruin it.

So, to sum it up: the best bet for the average surfer is Tuesday, September 15th morning. For the experienced crew looking for a challenge, Friday, September 18th morning is the big one, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecasts.

Rusty.
